Lessons
There are many lessons at the school such as Welsh, Spanish, Mathematics, History, Geography, Science, PE, ICT, Cooking, Sewing, Wood Work, Electronics, Religious Education, Art, Drama, Music, Media, English, French, Business, Sociology, Love Child Care and Customer Services. The most successful class however was how to retrieve a shopping trolley from a river, or the much enjoyed defence against the dark arse. Not all of these are taught to Year 7 to 9, as they became too dangerous so only Year 10+ may take the subjects as GCSE/NVQ.

Famous quotes containing the word lessons:
“Sentimentalists ... adopt whatever merit is in good repute, and almost make it hateful with their praise. The warmer their expressions, the colder we feel.... Cure the drunkard, heal the insane, mollify the homicide, civilize the Pawnee, but what lessons can be devised for the debauchee of sentiment?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“But what help from these fineries or pedantries? What help from thought? Life is not dialectics. We, I think, in these times, have had lessons enough of the futility of criticism.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Living by basic good-mothering guidelines enables a mom to blend the responsibilities of parenthood with its joys; to know when to stand her ground and when to be flexible; and to absorb the lessons of the parenting gurus while also trusting her inner voice when it reasons that another cookie isn’t worth fighting over, or that her child won’t suffer irreparable trauma if, once in a while, Mom puts her own needs first.”
—Sue Woodman (20th century)
